“PEOPLE WITH SHIELDS KILL PEOPLE”
When U.S. Agent throws his mighty shield
All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield!
In a great national tragedy, a man killed fifteen people with a vibranium shield at a shooting range in Texas. (“My thoughts and prayers go out to those absolutely shattered by shield violence.”). This has sparked national outrage, with activists screaming that nobody needs such an indestructible shield - and empowering a super-vigilante by the name of the “Disarmer” to grab all such armaments! But U.S. Agent ain’t giving up his inalienable right to wield the shield without a fight - even when the Disarmer employs the saline-powered slanderer and darling of fake news networks “Stormy” to literally drown him in tears!
Silver Sable, Red Hulk, and Harry Osborn suspect it was the Ctrl-Left’s insidious Controller who forced the otherwise reasonable shield-wielder into homicidal action (“As many people have said, it’s not a shield issue, it’s a mind control issue!”). Can they expose the truth in time to save their teammate?
Plus, the Squad’s release of W’Tambi the Wakandan spy has deescalated tensions between the two nations. Can America and Wakanda come to an accord? (“Many people are saying Pussy Cat T’Challa acted unfairly, but Congress should take note of his country’s GREAT immigration policies.”). Are we making Wakanda great again?

Today, Ghost is the world’s greatest corporate saboteur and the Mouse hides his non-human machinations behind one of the world’s largest corporations! It’s perfect!

“SPY VS. BATSPY” part three “DADDY ISSUES”
Hawkeye and his estranged family continue to do whatever they can to foil the plan of Bruce Wayne, Agent of SHIELD - a super-spy from the Amalgam Universe with a pathological fixation on wiping out the organization that killed his parents: HYDRA! Normally that would make Clint and Bruce total bros, but Bruce’s focus is too extreme. He considers anyone affiliated with HYDRA, even the civilian immigrants who populate the U.N.-sanctioned People’s Republic of Hydra, to be enemy combatants that must be crossed off - and that includes Clint’s HYDRA-indoctrinated pre-teen son Callum Barton, a.k.a. Upshot! But Bruce only incapacitated Black Widow and the rest of the Secret Avengers - he didn’t kill them. That means he’s not a monster. Clint’s only hope is to break through to the good man he suspects is somewhere inside the super-spy. But how?
The only knowledge Hawkeye has on Agent Wayne is the personnel file Nick Fury stole when he was collaborating with the other universe’s SHIELD during the Amalgamate event (God bless his underhanded paranoia!). Bruce’s mother’s name was Martha, but Clint’s was Edith, so there’s no common ground there. However, Bruce does have a son who was taken by his super-villain mother and raised to be a killer by a criminal organization. That’s something Clint can definitely relate to... Can Hawkeye convince Agent Wayne to abandon his crusade for the sake of wayward sons everywhere?

The Marvelous Ladies Detective Agency (Misty Knight, Jessica Jones & Dakota North) were hired to find a kid. They found him; but there's a Ketch...I mean catch. Isn't there always? The kid it turns out is the antichrist reborn, he just hasn't realized it yet, having been switched at birth and raised by a kind, unassuming and equally oblivious Brooklyn couple for the past eight years. For all he knows, he is just David Pratchett, regular 3rd grader on the skinny side that likes video games, action figures, comic books, movies starring the Rock, math and, well, the Nets...so not a perfect existence but not too shabby either. And the friendly same sex couple who hired our heroines to locate the boy happens to be an earthbound angel and demon pair trying to avoid Armageddon by keeping young "David" safe and on the unaware side, having devised the switcharoo 8 years prior, but recently been warned from on high that a certain flaming skulled spirit of vengeance who rides a motorcycle fueled by pure hellfire is after the child, seeking to exterminate the devil-to-be in a much more biblical plan for avoiding pending Armageddon.
So begins the showdown in a shady corner of Brooklyn. Three detectives, an angel, a demon, the the 8 year old devil incarnate and his all-to-human guardians, hunkered down in an old brownstone, trying to withstand the Spirit of Vengeance itself. Luckily, they have a little support from their friendly neighborhood Spider-Man (Miles) and a White Tiger (Kasper) who have their own reasons to get the Ghost Rider out of town. What happens when Jessica Jones is forced to endure the Penance Stare and relive her sins committed under the influence of The Purple Man? Can Misty and Dakota reach the man inside the Rider and convince him there is another way to save the world? Can Miles get away safely with young David while his friends stall Hell's Avenger? Can our heroes really trust that their Angel & Demon employers are being completely honest about all this? How is Detective Kasper Cole going to write this one up in his report? And what ever happened to the other baby switched out for the antichrist at birth? All these questions answered as Hell comes to Brooklyn.

Cletus Kasady is dead. Long live Carnage! Venom's symbiotic offspring abandoned it's previous murderous host during his time of need (last arc's dramatic conclusion), only to cling to a man who doesn't want him, an old soldier desperate to find peace - Flash Thompson.
Now Eddie, Flash and their symbiotes need to escape New York and allow the dust to settle. Hopefully the cops can put it all together and link the now dead serial killer Kasady to the recent string of murders that Eddie has been accused of. Though they'd like to stick around and make sure Stan Carter, Jr. gets cleared for offing Kasady, it's too big a risk with so many on their tail, and Flash having a hard time controlling his dangerous new "friend," Our antiheroes don't hold out much hope that the Skrulls will forgive them for the death of one of their own (Ethan Edwards), regardless that the evidence clears Eddie of killing him, even if he had depowered and kept his professional rival locked in a closet to scoop his front page story. It's a bad look.
So where can two men like these go to keep themselves safe and those around them safe from them? A place where they aren't the most dangerous species. The only place on earth brutal enough to ignore them, so pack your bags, it's vacation time in...the Savage Land! Oh, they'll fit right in.

"Magical Mystery Tour, Part I: Love Thy Craft"
Stephen Strange has lost a lot in his days. First he lost the mastery of his surgically precise hands and his wildly successful medical career in tow. From there he made a magical recovery after a little indignant self-pity by following a new path, albeit a very ancient one. He lost his mentor along the way, lost the Eye of Agamotto and the title of Sorcerer Supreme with it. Recently he's even lost his devilishly enchanting wife, his ultimate mancave aka the Sanctum Sanctorum, his most powerful possessions and possibly his manservant in a messy divorce. Now Stephen Strange finds himself homeless, on the street hauling around an antique trunk that contains all that remains from his collection of mystical artifacts (see the "Everything Esoteric Must Go" Yard Sale, i.e. she threw his sh*t to the curb in the pages of THE DEFENDERS) and possibly having unintentionally and irreparably broken time with his fellow non-teammates (also those so called DEFENDERS.)
Now the search begins...for his stuff! Strange must track down and recollect his cherished treasures before last Saturday's 50 cent grab bag bargain accidentally summons some primordial god beast or throws the city into the dark dimension (Foreshadow much?) And his peers...where are Richards, Drumm, Parker and Murdock these days anyway? Has he really been that out of touch this year...s? And above all, what about Wong? How is he supposed to keep Earth's realm safe from Lovecraftian terrors, or find his dry-cleaning without assistance from his most trusted and faithful friend? Seriously, he just went through his last clean pair of blue tights and refuses to wear those tacky red ones with a big gaping run in them.
So onward, like a ghost he wanders through the city alone pondering the disorder of things or did he just miss his turn at the crossroads of Hudson St. and the Ethereal Plane? More than ever, the Doctor needs to find himself and fast because trouble of a most treacherous and otherworldly nature is brewing, literally, in his very city...
Elsewhere in his very city - trouble brews (we told ya!) Isaiah Curwen, formerly known as Silver Dagger for his knifey sorcerer slashing skills, has renounced the Darkhold and his pseudo-christian zealotry, and fanatically replaced it with the Necronimocon and a theology even more old school. Curwen has formed his own church and accumulated quite a nasty congregation of the blindly devoted and dangerously demented. A cloud of rumors hovers over their name, tales of animal sacrifices, brutal discipline, acts of vandalism, larceny, kidnapping and strangest yet a penchant for leaving behind octopus tentacles at the scenes of their crimes. Just last weekend Curwen's band of followers raided a rummage sale in the Village that will put a new terrifying spin on Black Friday. Beware the Cult of Cthulhu!Prepare to be spellbound by this new supernatural series from the macabre minds of Gerard Way and Greg Capullo as we set out to explore the dark arts and stranger things of the AOM Universe.
